Mirror Visualization for Psychic Protection

[Celebration]

In your minds eye erect a mirror to the front of you. The reflective side should be pointing outwards. See the mirror completely hide you so it covers you from head to toe. Then erect and mirror to the back of you, again seeing the reflective side pointing outwards.
Now cover your sides with a mirror.
To complete the ‘box of Mirrors’ visualisation, imagine a mirror beneath your feet and one above your head.

You now need to make an affirmation to go with the visualisation. This will strengthen the visualisation. This affirmation can be some thing like ‘These mirrors are to protect me from any negative external influences, all positive energy is able to flow freely through these mirrors’.
If you like you can make up your own affirmation.

1. Thanks for posting.

I haven't seen this method of psychic protection before.

[I Have A Dream]

2. Thanks, itsjustme. The image that you posted is really helpful for me.

(Visualization is not my strong suit.)

I'm sure that I'll use this method at some point in the future.

[Celebration]

3. Visualizations not my strong suit either

which is why I use pictures.

I doubt if I could actually successfully visualize myself being in a box like this with mirrors facing outward.

Instead, what I would do, is think of this picture, and put a picture of myself in the box instead of the figure, and say "that's me" or "that is I", depending on whether I felt like being grammatically correct.

What this requires is just giving real meaning to the symbols. It symbolically is just one step removed from actually feeling like a box surrounds me, which of course also uses symbols. Well, that seems claustrophobic anyway.

4. I would exercise caution when using this technique.

Actually, I would only use it as a last resort. You should always be very careful when reflecting energy back to its source (which is what mirror shielding does). There could be some unintended consequences from it. I would only use the mirror technique in instances where you very specifically want to bounce something back at someone.

I think the opaque bubble (where you visualize yourself encased in a semi see-through bubble) is less dangerous and just as effective.

5. I never felt right using a mirror shield myself. I perfer other methods

I keep trying new things so I don't always do the same thing for long. For a time I would imagine a layer of flame coating my aura that would consume anything harmful before it could pass through the shield to me. This way I didn't have to wonder if whomever in the area was emitting toxic vibes would take it as a challenge to have their trash flung back at them and redouble their emissions. Using the flame to consume and transmute the harmful energy also did not give back any response to the emitter so while they do get the relief of releasing some negativity they don't get the charge from connecting with my personal energy. Some toxic emitters also are what some call psi vamps meaning they drain people without permission and this will prevent that from happening. Other times I put a layer of royal purple to transmute harmful energies. For a time now I use a shield wrapped around my aura of layers of metal mesh. First a layer of silver and over that gold. I tried putting platinum over the gold but felt too zingy. I picture the mesh like a windowscreen made of precious metal that like the screen keeps unpleasant things out while letting fresh air and the like flow freely.

6. I've tried fire too, I like that

I call it my "firewall", LOL. Keeps bad stuff out and lets good stuff in.

[Shallah Kali]

7. I call it my Ring of Fire and hear Johnny Cash singing in my head as I visulize it

It always helps me build a good mental image and as it reminds me of my Dad it makes me feel even more protected :)


I fell into a burning ring of fire
down, down down
and the flames get higher
it burns, burns burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire

[Celebration]

8. whatever works!

I would say to anyone do whatever works as a shield. Flames seem a little violent to me. People's intentions that they send out tend to bounce back anyway, and I don't think using a mirror would magnify that (unless there was some sort of affirmation to that effect). And most assaults on the aura don't have anything to do with other people and the energy that they send.

I also use silver, gold and blue colors to seal the aura.

I consider protecting the aura very serious business. So, I would say, try some things and find something that works.

[Shallah Kali]

9. I agree in using what ever is most comfortable for each person

As an empath I was greatly effected by other's energies in the past. Migraine headaches, massive depression, formless but constant anxiety, and if I was around an angry person it was like standing in front of a sandblaster. Very few seem conscious of what they were doing and none seem to experience any repercussions for their toxic energy, not even the most willfully nasty. Not wanting to risk further entanglement, karmic or otherwise, I did not take the advice of those who suggested mirror shields or worse yet a mirror shield with the intention of sending back 3X worse. I wanted to purify the energy around me not just for my sake by for any other unknowing energy sensitives wondering why they went home each night feeling the misery of the world around them as if it was their own. I use fire to transmute, to transform and burn off the negative until it was pure positive energy. Kinda like the medieval alchemists seeking to turn lead into gold I use the flame to transform pain and sorrow into positive healing energy. Or think of how the lowly compost heap turns waste into black gold that will nourish the tastiest and healthiest of vegetables. Although these days I use the short cut of Reiki Cho Ku Rei which I find transmutes negativity wonderfully. I draw them on my aura and it automatically transforms bad vibes. I sketch them in the air to cleanse a room and on my hands before I channel Reiki so only the pure Reiki passes through me and no trace of myself clings. Also I put them on my hands before I wipe down someone's aura and I feel the crud breaking up like putting a drop of dish soap in a pan of greasy grimey water breaks up the gunk.

10. LOL! That's awesome!

I will have to try that some time. :)

12. I have a question about shielding

I found myself wanting to shield my thoughts from someone recently. No tinfoil here, I just interact with a person who picks up on people's emotions in an eerie way and it derails things sometimes.

Anyhow. I didn't think a bubble would work so I tried radiating love, so that the foremost thought in my mind wasn't a thought but a feeling of 'wholesome goodness'.

I don't know how well it works, to yell nice things to keep someone out of my head. I think I pulled off a decent poker face at least.

Can you (all) please help me figure this one out? Do you turn your thoughts OFF, like in meditation? (If so, how can you carry on a conversation?) Do you repeat a chant? Do you get tipsy so your thoughts are clouded anyway?

[Celebration]

13. what an interesting question

The answer might be individual. Let's see--you want her to focus on your words rather than the emotions behind the words, right? And poker face doesn't seem to work? (That is what I would try first.) Hmmm--well supposed you want to make a point verbally, but you don't want her to know how strongly emotionally you are tied to this concept-- I might try thinking "no, no, no" just a little bit throughout the answer, just to throw off her "perceptions." But you would have to be careful not to do this so much that she doesn't believe you at all. Or, when you are discussing something negative, try thinking about how much you love a pet at the same time. It's difficult, though, if she is truly sensitive. It is like trying to beat a lie detector test.

[crikkett]

14. I think it's a lot like trying to beat a lie detector test

but if you're going to hang out with people who can perceive your emotions/"thoughts" but not the underlying cause behind them, people who are nosey anyway, you have to do something.

And guess what there are machines that can do this, by the way. Machines that can see and measure what you're thinking.

[Celebration]

15. that's right

There are the regular lie detector tests, and also some imaging things that light up parts of the brain. The use of a pendulum allows most people to tap into things like this. But there are people that don't need to use a pendulum or galvinic skin response or anything like that. It's probably pretty difficult to "beat" this, although I understand that true sociopaths can't be scanned/read like this. Another option might be to have a sharp needle in your pocket and poke your own finger throughout a conversation.

[crikkett]

17. Owie! That's a little extreme

"true sociopaths can't be scanned/read like this"

Hm. it's enough to get you thinking about evolution etc.

[Shallah Kali]

16. Would an image of a veil over your throughts work for you?

Or a gauzy curtain to obscure this person's perceptions of you? Or even a star trek like forcefield that you can tune so it is sparkely and keeps your thoughts private?

Another thought is to check your personal energy boundaries. This is something I have to do regularly or I am totally scattared. I will picture in my mind's eye pulling in my personal energy and aura until it is no more than 1 1/2 feet out from my body. try different distances until you find what feels best for you. As I visiulize I reach out with my hands and take hold of my energy as if it was cloth and pull it in and then smooth it as far around as I can reach. Intention is strong enough to have an effect. I have gotten people who are skeptical of this sort of things to do this and were shocked when they felt less spacy than before. Don't neglect the back as that is often the most raggity and neglected part. Just reach out as best as you can pull in the energy and then smooth it until it is smooth and as firm as you like. You can imagine your boundary as being squishy that bends around objects but bounces back or rubbery so anything that impacts it bounces off harmlessly or hard as diamond so anything that hits it shatters into pure clean energy. It's is your aura and energy so find what works for you. And if you like make it a color or mutiple colors. Make it a color to coordinate with your clothing or pick a color that perks up your mood. Maybe when around that person you could pick a color that makes you think of loving kindness.

Oh one more thing - when working to project an emotion maybe reciting part of a poem or song lyric would help you focus your energy? Your post brought to mind a tape I was given years ago of a female group Libana and the song Now I Walk in Beauty http://www.amazon.com/Fire-Within-Libana/dp/B0000000A2

Now I walk in beauty
beauty is before me
beauty is behind me,
above and below me

[crikkett]

18. This is insightful and your method is worth trying.

I've never smoothed out my aura before. What you describe seems like a purification and solidification of intent. I'll really try it.

I'm reminded of the movie "All that Jazz" where Fosse says to the mirror, "it's SHOWTIME!!" As if he's getting ready for battle. And actually dealing with this person is like getting ready for battle because "they" grab onto any hold available for leverage, like a rockclimber. My mom's advice (which lead to my initial attempt at just radiating love) was "kill 'em with kindness". Who's the person who says, "White Light, Asshole!" -- I love that.

re: your really nice song, I like it and I'll use it. I've had a chant in my head recently: peace blooms in my heart and in my life, like a flower.

Thanks.

19. You can also smooth your aura with the intention of sweeping away anything that collects on it

Simply clap three times when done to transmute and release anything dusted off that was then collected on your hands.

When girding one's psychic loins for battle remember you are allowed to have fun! Use anything that works whether it's telling your own reflection 'It's showtime' or following the example of He-Man master of the universe and chanting 'I HAVE THE POWER!!!' or any suitable phrase that comes to your mind that puts you in a good mood and helps you focus your intent.

[crikkett]

11. Excellent! We learn this stuff as kids you know...

I was reminded of a chant from my childhood

You now need to make an affirmation to go with the visualisation. This will strengthen the visualisation. This affirmation can be some thing like

"I am rubber, you are glue, whatever you say to me bounces off me and goes right back to you"

(usually followed by wrestling)
